Makeshift Studio

Makeshift, Natalie Purschwitz

As part of her ongoing Makeshift handmade clothing project, where for one year she makes every stitch of her own clothing including shoes, socks and underwear, artist Natalie Purschwitz will be projecting vignettes of her work onto the Makeshift studio windows, giving insight to the artist’s design process.

Natalie Purschwitz has a BFA in Intermedia from ECIAD and a BA in Archaeology from the U of Calgary. She has shown her artwork internationally and has a clothing line called Hunt & Gather. Both her clothing design and her artwork is anthropologically propelled and examines the convergences of 'clothing', 'living', and 'making'. She is currently working on a one-year project called Makeshift, during which time she will only wear things she has made herself.
